Tropical Outlook

Tropical Storm Katia out in the eastern Atlantic will continue to track to the west and be near the northern Leeward Islands by Labor Day.

2. A tropical disturbance will move into the Gulf of Mexico, possibly develop and bring the Gulf coast region from Texas to Florida a chance for much needed  rain.  It appears that the system may just sit over water for many days.

3. A cold front (the one that Irene rode against), could develop a low pressure during the next few days and track into Atlantic Canada.
